Pet Rescue Alliance Volunteer Opportunities
Since its founding in 2011, Pet Rescue Alliance has rescued thousands of dogs. Saving these lives is only possible with a dedicated network of volunteers. PRA volunteers perform a variety of tasks and are critical to our success. We could not do what we do without our amazing volunteers!
You can become a PRA volunteer by completing our Volunteer Application. After you fill it out, one of our volunteer coordinators will follow up with you. Please note PRA requires volunteers to be over 18 years of age.
PRA has several volunteer positions available, which will allow you to participate in a meaningful way with the flexibility to join as your schedule allows.

Fundraising – Help us raise the needed funds to keep going!
